The Final Day of our 2015 Family Vacation!

All of us were up again by 7 and Lanie, Bob, and Samantha had a tough night. Samantha was awake many times with an earache!  We felt so bad for her! There were still a few showers, but they ended quickly giving way to clouds.  

Dane and Bria had gone to Fractured Prune to get donuts and they were as delicious as last Sunday morning.  All of us ladies did some packing to get ready for tomorrow's departure.  Good time to do it with the weather being questionable and that way we gave it a chance to improve.  By 10 the sun came out and it was beautiful.  Jamie's family had gone to the pool here at the complex and the rest of us spent time outside watching Samantha and Katelyn ride their bikes and scooters.

By 11:30 we all drove into Bethany Beach for lunch.  Everyone went to 5 Guys for their delicious hamburgers, but Ken and I decided we were hungry for Grotto Pizza.  We all got back together after eating and went into numerous stores looking for the souvenirs that the granddaughters wanted to purchase before going home.  Then Jamie's family went to the beach along with PaPa (just to watch) for an hour and I went in and out of the stores in Bethany Beach.  Lanie's family planned to go miniature golfing, but Samantha and Katelyn were too tired, so they went back to the condo.  We were all back to the condo by 2, showered and did some additional packing while the gals played very well together.  All went very well.

The water was cold for Bria and Cali.....

...but it got better!

At 4:00 we went to Bethany Boathouse, a new eatery that is run by Cottage Cafe.  It is an "open air" bar and grill with a nice play area for children and delicious food.  The little ones had their own table and felt like "big shots".  We had a very nice time there.


A nice looking eatery!

They loved having their own "high table"!

Enjoying the delicious food!

A great play area for children!

Looks like a reenactment of the Titanic!
On to Bethany Beach for Samantha and Katelyn to have time to fly their kites. Grandma enjoyed taking the girls to the water's edge to feel the ocean water on our feet for the last time on this 2015 family vacation.  PaPa was able to get photos of each of the families, a total family picture courtesy of a lady on the beach, and that special photo of PaPa and Grandma with Bria, Cali, Samantha, and Katelyn.  It was a perfect evening.

Mommy and Aunt Jamie helped Samantha and Katelyn with
their kite flying!

Your turn, Katelyn!

It's fun to watch, but I wish we would have brought our kites!

Grandma loves all of her girls!!

Bria loved to spend time with her Daddy!

Let time to get our feet wet in the ocean for this vacation!

A special time!


PaPa and Grandma get a picture taken each year on family
vacation with our granddaughters.  Boy, they are growing up!

Jamie and her family!

Lanie and her family!

We are so blessed!

The flowers in Bethany Beach are always exceptional!


Back to the condo by 8:15 after some homemade ice cream.  The little ones were in bed by 9 and the adults had a fun, relaxing evening of playing 2 games of Skip-Bo.  Can't believe it is the last night of our 2015 family vacation.  What great memories we have created.

We are definitely Celebrating Life Daily!
